Today, we’re diving into the wild, leather-clad legend of Jim Morrison—the man who fancied himself a poet, a prophet, and a psychedelic sex god all rolled into one.

Frontman of The Doors, self-proclaimed Lizard King, and walking contradiction, Morrison blurred the line between genius and trainwreck with every slurred monologue and shirtless stage dive. Was he a visionary artist or just your drunk philosophy major friend with a tambourine and a God complex? Let’s find out—on this episode of Asshole Court.
